The Spring / Summer 16 runways in London, Paris, Milan, and New York highlighted more than the latest designer triumphs. Five glamourous and feminine hairstyles also stood out, and are rapidly being embraced by fashion-conscious women everywhere.

The Side Part

Side parts, which shared the runways with Gucci and Michael Kors, suit any hair length, from sleek bobs to Rapunzel-like tresses. Wear a side part with wavy hair for a stylish contrast, or add it to swept-back hair for added sleekness.

Bold Bangs

Each collection had every imaginable version of the classic bang: from ‘geek chic’ to punk-inspired. Anyone considering bangs should consider their facial structure: side-swept bangs flatter a heart-shaped face while round faces look best with choppy, asymmetrical cuts.

The Centre Part

Centre partings, a 1970s phenomenon, are enjoying a fashion renaissance. Not only is this look easy and affordable, it also makes the face slimmer and more symmetrical. The center part works on all hair types and is especially flattering on women with square or round faces.

The Low Ponytail

Experts are saying that this hairstyle is 2015’s most popular trend. Stylish but simple, the low ponytail is easy to create and suits most hair types. It can be worn messy, a look favored on the runways of Marc Jacobs, or sleek and secured with a thick black ribbon, like the Rodarte models showed off with pride.

Wavy Hair

Wavy hair is also trending fast. Several versions appeared on the SS16 runways of Burberry and Rachel Zoe, from textured tresses to flowing, romantic waves. Their relaxed, bohemian aspect makes them ideal for the carefree spring and summer months.

Clothes can make you look stylish, but a flattering hairstyle completes your image. Take a cue from SS16 for easy hair ideas that add an extra touch of glamour.
